Sustainable Peri-urban Drainage System (SPuDS)

Those familiar with the land use planning process will no doubt understand the rationale behind Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS). Water management in the urban environment is crucial in helping to alleviate episodic flooding. Hard surfacing that's efficient in rushing water off to the existing drainage system often ends up being someone elses problem further down the river catchment. To moderate this SUDS are often designed and incorporated into new developments as a way of ensuring water is regulated.

A key feature of SUDS is a balancing pond. In modern systems such a feature is often simply a depression in the ground that takes excess water and releases it in a measured and controlled manner. But its seems that balancing ponds are not just a part of a modern water management system The peri-urban industrial landscape around the south Wales coalfield has many 'balance ponds'. The pond pictured above is situated above Pwll Ddu quarry and in recent times at least, has been devoid of water. But this changed within the last week when heavy rain temporarily filled the pond.

Parazapper May Help Prevent AmoebiasisProtozoan Entamoeba Histolytica is responsible for Amoebiasis disease. When a man affected by this disease then patient so many times get extra intestinal problem and dysentery. In Bangladesh majority percent people are affected this disease by water, food, reservoir etc.When it reach to epidemic condition, that moment its cure is very difficult. A health journal publish a report, worldwide every year 41,000-95,000 people die by amoebiasis. Amoebiasis Condition in Bangladesh:Bangladeshi health institute published an 85 hospital survey report about amebiasis. Majority percent people are affected by hystolytica entamoeba , which is responsible for bloody stool making. Postmortem reports disclose that for every 100 bloody diarrhea deaths, for 21 patient deaths the reason is ameobiasis. Children(age 8-12) and older(age 60 up people are more affected by the disease more than young people. For Children the affecting rate is 29% and the adult affecting rate is 11%. Way of Prevention:• Regularly keep bathroom neat and clean.• Avoid using public towel.• Always use soap before eating and after toilet.• Try to drink boil water.Ameobiasis germ can transmit to human by water. That's why pure water is essential. Zapper is a device which is consider as ParaZapper™ can eliminate germ from water within few minutes but is not intended for drinking water. For getting more information about zapper device this site will really helpful.

'My own primary motivation for protecting the environment has nothing to do with economics. It is deeply rooted in the pleasure I derive from contact with the natural world, and the moral conviction that we hold the environment in trust for future generations'.
